- What is wrong

At such high temperatures, the cooling unit could rupture.

- If a leak occurs and the unit is continues to operate, hydrogen gas may be expelled and can be ignited, resulting in a fire, possibly causing serious injury or death.
- Remedy
- Tiffin is working with norcold and tiffin will notify owners and the vehicle's refrigerator will be repaired free of charge by norcold. Please see norcold's defect report 09e-027. Owners may contact norcold's recall center at 1‑800‑767‑9101.
